12. About education in the United States:
The U. S. had a public school system that provided its people an
education good enough to allow them to build their nation into a global leadership
position. However, today we hear that relatively high percentages of students are
failing to learn how to read, write and do arithmetic at grammar and high school levels. How would you explain this new shortfall in the
ability of the public school system to adequately educate? |
Teachers are at fault.
Parents are at fault.
Kids are not taught
the value of learning.
Kids are getting dumber.
Movies & television are at fault.
I disagree with the premise.
I don't
have any idea. |
